You've Been Using Instagram Wrong This Whole Time
Here's How to Fix It This Weekend – Asambe!
The 3-Hour Scroll That Changed Nothing
Stop Scrolling, Start Studying.
Your Instagram Feed is a FREE Map to Making Money.
Here's How to Read It.
Be honest with me for a second.
How many hours did you spend on Instagram this week?
Don’t check your screen time.
I know that number will hurt.
Just feel it.
How many times did you open the app “just to check something quick” and suddenly it’s three hours later, and you can’t even remember what you looked at?
And here’s the question that keeps you up at night, the one you don’t say out loud: “Why am I watching everyone else build their dreams while mine are still sitting in my head?”
You see the girl selling wigs from her bedroom.
The guy with the sneaker business.
The woman doing nails and posting her rate card.
Every time you see them, you feel that weird mix of inspiration and frustration.
“I could do that,” you think.
Then you scroll past.
Again.
And again.
But what if I told you that everything you need to start your own business is already in your hands?
Not in some expensive course.
Not in a business degree.
Not in some secret group you have to pay to join.
Right there.
In the same Instagram app you’re using to watch reels of people dancing.
The same app where you just spent 180 minutes looking at things you can’t afford.
That app is either your distraction or your classroom.
And today, right now, you get to choose which one it becomes.
The Difference Between Scrolling and Studying
Here’s what nobody tells you about successful people: They use the same apps you do. They scroll the same Instagram you scroll.
They see the same content you see.
But there’s one massive difference, they’re not just watching.
They’re learning.
Right now, while you’re reading this, thousands of young South Africans are making real money on Instagram.
They’re not influencers or celebrities.
They’re regular people who figured out how to turn scrolling into studying.
They stopped asking, “Why is everyone else winning?” and started asking, “What are they doing that I’m not doing?”
Here’s what you need to understand about the digital economy: The biggest businesses in South Africa didn’t start with big capital.
They started with a big observation.
Someone saw a gap.
Someone noticed what was working for others.
Someone studied the game before they played it.
And now you know their secret, they treated their feed like a textbook, not entertainment.
Think about it.
You wouldn’t watch a cooking video and expect to become a chef without paying attention to the recipe.
You wouldn’t watch someone play soccer and think you’ll magically know how to play without studying their moves, right?
So why do you scroll past businesses every single day and expect to know how to build one magically?
The shift you need to make is simple but powerful:
Stop scrolling like a consumer.
Start studying like a CEO.
When you see someone selling something on Instagram, ask yourself:
What are they selling, and why did they choose that product?
How are they taking their photos, phone camera or professional?
How do they write their captions, short and simple or long and storytelling?
How are they handling payments, DM only, WhatsApp, or a link in bio?
How often do they post, daily, every other day, or when they feel like it?
How do they engage with comments?
Do they reply to everyone or ignore them?
What’s in their bio, clear or confusing?
These aren’t random questions.
These are business decisions.
Every account you scroll past has already made these choices.
They’ve done the testing.
Made the mistakes.
Figured out what works.
And they’re showing you for free.
Your Instagram feed is literally a case study library.
You just need to stop treating it like a distraction and start treating it like the goldmine it actually is.
Your Weekend Mission (And Why It Matters)
So here’s where we stop talking and you start doing.
All the inspiration in the world means nothing if you don’t take action.
I’m not asking you to launch a business this weekend.
I’m not asking you to invest money.
I’m not even asking you to post anything.
I’m asking you to change how you see.
This weekend, block out 90 minutes between now and Sunday.
You’re going on a mission.
Not a scroll.
Not mindless entertainment.
A mission.
You’re becoming a Digital Explorer.
Your mission has four clear steps:
YOUR WEEKEND ACTION PLAN:
STEP 1 (Do this NOW):
Open your Notes app or grab a notebook.
Title it: “My Digital Business School.”
This is where you’ll record everything you learn this weekend.
STEP 2 (Saturday morning):
Set a 90-minute timer.
Open Instagram.
Find your first South African small business account.
Study it like your rent money depends on it, because one day, it might.
STEP 3 (Sunday afternoon):
Review your notes.
Circle the three most interesting things you learned.
Ask yourself: “Which of these could I start doing next week?”
STEP 4 (Monday):
Drop a 📚 emoji and tell us: “I studied [business name] and learned [one specific thing].” Your discovery might inspire someone else’s breakthrough.
Here’s why this exercise matters more than you think:
You’re not copying.
You’re learning the language of online business.
You’re understanding the patterns.
You’re seeing what real people, not gurus, not influencers, not big brands, are actually doing to make money.
Once you see the patterns, you can’t unsee them.
Once you understand the game, you can start playing it.
The difference between successful people and struggling people isn’t talent.
It’s not luck.
It’s not connections.
It’s pattern recognition.
Successful people see things you don’t see because they have trained themselves to look differently.
They turned their scroll into a study.
They turned their feed into their classroom.
They stopped being passive consumers and became active learners.
And that transformation?
It doesn’t require money.
It doesn’t require permission.
It just requires the decision to pay attention.
Here’s what I want to see by Monday:
Three pages of notes.
Three accounts studied.
Three examples of how real South Africans are making real money with the same phone you’re holding right now.
Not theories.
Not wishes.
Not someday dreams.
Real businesses.
Real strategies.
Real proof that this works.
Because once you really see it, study it, and understand it, you can’t go back to mindless scrolling.
Your brain will start automatically analysing every business account you see.
You’ll notice patterns everywhere.
You’ll start thinking “I could do that” and actually mean it because you’ve studied how it’s done.
Your Instagram feed is either your biggest distraction or your best teacher.
Same app.
Same content.
The only difference is your intention.
So what’s it gonna be this weekend?
Are you scrolling like a consumer, watching other people build their dreams while yours collect dust?
Or are you studying like a CEO, learning from everyone who’s already where you want to be?
The app is free.
The education is free.
The examples are free.
The only thing that costs you is the decision to pay attention.
P.S. Right now, someone in Attridgeville is studying a successful Instagram business and taking notes.
Right now, someone in Kimberley is screenshotting pricing strategies and learning.
Right now, someone in Mahikeng is analysing captions and understanding the psychology of selling.
They’re not scrolling.
They’re studying.
They’re not consuming.
They’re learning.
They’re not wishing.
They’re preparing.
And in two months, while you’re still wondering “when will it be my turn,” they’ll be posting their own business accounts.
Because they did the work you’re about to do this weekend.
The question is: Will you be one of them?
Your classroom is already in your hands.
The only thing missing is your decision to be a student. 📱📚💪🏾
